-
Last year we had over 230 events which involved numerous guests. Of course, we had the most visitors to the exhibition industry. In the last year and the year before a total of 120 000 people visited the exhibition organized in the Gallery of the central Military Club. This suggests that the concept that we have established, and which fosters cooperation with our partners, has been very fruitful so we shall strive to keep it so in the future, said Lt. Col. Markovic adding that the refined taste of the visitors of the gallery be fostered further by presenting them with high cultural value.Gallery director Tijana Palkovljevic, thanking to MC "Odbrana" for the invitation to guest appearances, she said she was pleased to have an exhibition opportunity for a second life, and when given the opportunity to premiere after exposure to be exposed somewhere else.
- Those of us who participate in setting up the exhibition then realize that the exhibition is not only one person, and that in every one has a new quality and a new value. This exhibition was presented in the Gallery of Serbian Cultural Society in October 2012 the most festive month when we celebrate the Day Gallery. In 2011we realized that 10 years had passed from the time in 200, so we printed magnificent monographs of the Gallery of Matica Srpska, which was prepared by my predecessor Leposava Selmic, and the last time, in a way, the public was presented a complete body of work and everything that the gallery has collected in the past 150 years, said the director of the Gallery adding that as many as 1616 works of art were sent to the Gallery over the past 10 years.State Secretary Miroslav Tasic talked about the donations, mecenarstvu and noble mission of the rulers decorated homes in the middle and up to 19 century.
- Gifts, donations and endowments is something that is important for this nation and the state, and about 244 works donated to testify in the last 10 years Matici Serbian, and some of them found a place in the permanent exhibition. I stress, is not a problem in donations, but that donations, gifts and endowments must be recognized, so that the Serbian government, proposed by the Ministry of Culture and Information, issued a decree on awarding great prizes for patronage and donations, as Tasic said, stating that is a valuable exhibition showing the work of a cultural institution in the past.
It features the works of Nikola Aleksic, Milena Pavlovic Barili, Dobrovic Petar, Bogdan Suput, as well as works by contemporary artists, Vladimir Velickovic, Mira and Sava Sandic, Marica Radojcic and Ruzica Beba Pavlovic and others. The artworks in are exhibited in chronological order from the period 17thjto 21st c in various techniques of artistic expression.
The concept of the exhibition is based on the type of acquisition, and is divided into several parts: gift collections, purchases and individual gifts. Because of the large number of new acquisitions and the fact that it was not possible to present all of them publicly, they will be available through digital presentations.
The exhibition will be open until 23 February 2013.
